The current CSV report export option is not a true CSV file. In service pack 6, exporting to CSV will work as it should. The old CSV format remains available and is renamed ‘Unformatted Excel’. Note that any scheduled jobs created in the previous versions of the software using the old CSV format are not effected.

Corrections

Fixed a currency conversion issue when a new exchange rate period is created and the ‘Get Exchange Rates’ function is not used to populate the exchange rates. Under these specific circumstances (manually entering exchange rates for a new rate period), the one to one conversions were not being saved. For example, the conversion rate from USD to USD should be ‘1’, but was not being saved to the database. This resulted in a $0.00 value being returned whenever a conversion from USD to USD was performed in that exchange rate period. It is also important to note that this problem does not occur when Currencies are first enabled; this can occur only when a new exchange rate period is created.

Recent changes in Chrome and Safari browser have broken the Previous/Next item functions located at the bottom of certain forms (e.g. Employee properties).
